Thanks for the help on this. I was also going to expand on the list of banned people into becoming a 'no-fly list' type sub-heading, but you beat me to it — and did a much better job then what I was going to do. The 'Special Coronavirus rules' was also great, as well as the intro — I mean at this point, I should just say you're pretty great but I don't feel like doing that (no offence).

No, never. Note on my user page that, the only times I have won an annual award here, people contrived to make it a tie! Regarding expanding lists, do note that we think lists suck. I grouped together your three deceased entries that were "just in case," and eliminated two that were there merely as memes. (Oh, throw in George Bush! That'll be funny!)? If you see others that are there for the same reason, please get rid. The "just in case" stuff wants to become a paragraph of prose, as should some of the others. Everyone knows that the reason planes (and bars) prohibit you from bringing in "a foreign load" is not to control your drunkenness but to maximize their profit, but just saying this isn't optimal without the addition of some cleverness.

Oh, good, OnePunch, you got rid of the "ban notice." I presume Nigel (whose ban-stick sometimes stings worse than my own) saw fit to ban BetterSkates2012 and the latter turned it into a joke. But it was "navelism" (Uncyclopedia writing about itself), also performance art where the output is random, which amuses the creator and the reader never sees it. Spıke 🎙️11:06 28-Mar-22

Another thing, the stuff you wrote in the section now titled Protect yourself doesn't fit with the stuff I'm writing. Ranting at the reader and the question-and-answer format fits in the HowTo: project but not well in the encyclopedia. You can tell any joke you want, but the challenge in mainspace (and the resulting pride of accomplishment) is in fitting it to support the "We are an authoritative reference work" gag; that is, stay in character, which is necessarily drier and mostly third-person. I feel you are reveling in doing stand-up comedy, poking the reader in the stomach and challenging him. Inviting him to bring a gun on-board, where elsewhere the list warns him he can't, then having the air marshal "warn" him with a volley of lead, perhaps bringing down the plane, doesn't seem near-enough realistic.
